It's cool to hear from somebody who seems to take a similar approach. I have found that I improve a lot faster when I don't train as much and put in more mental work, whether through instructionals or "mind dojo" exercises as he called it. And it leaves me with way more time for strength and conditioning. My body feels way better now than it did when I first started training and I'm improving faster.

IMO I just came across this channel and this was a great episode. Fantastic questions and inquisitive answers

Federer may not have specialized, but he started playing tennis at an absurdly young age and he consistently kept playing tennis since that start. He may have completely devoted himself to tennis at about 12, but there are picture of 4 year old pre school Roger training, getting lessons. And the advantage that gives him over someone who tries tennis at 13 for the first time is massive. All the top 20 tennis player started playing at 3-6 (or younger though I doubt that has a meaningful effect). I do think it hurt that Austin guy's chances of ever being a full time world Tour Judoka that he started at 15, that's really late compared to his competition. It's different at heavyweight where you can just be so much bigger, stronger, and more athletic than everyone that you can nullify it (like Riner or Karelin), but not at middle and light weights. Maybe Austin would have made it if he started as a young kid.
